Reconnaissance automatique des charges énergétiques et des événements pour une solution de domotique résidentielle.

L’intérêt pour la gestion intelligente de la consommation d’énergie résidentielle prend une force importante grâce à l’avancement de la domotique et la dissémination des technologies connectées facilitant la configuration et la gestion à distance des appareils. Ces progrès sont aussi supportés par le développement des nouvelles techniques de l’intelligence artificielle, la miniaturisation des systèmes embarqués et la réduction des coûts d’acquisition et d’installation des capteurs intelligents. La centralisation des tableaux de bord à travers des applications mobiles et les écrans intelligents aboutit au concept de « maison intelligente » permettant au client résidentiel de maximiser son confort et de réduire ses factures d’électricité. Le public s’attend à ce que les nouvelles technologies de gestion énergétique soient le moins invasives possible, à ce que les économies assurent une rentabilité rapide des investissements et à une facilité accrue de l’interaction utilisateur-machine à travers des interfaces conviviales. Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans la mouvance actuelle où l’économie de l’énergie est un facteur déterminant de la transition énergétique. À cet égard, le rapport détaillé sur la consommation des différents usages résidentiels est une information importante pour des utilisateurs de plus en plus curieux et engagés.

The Flint Venture Catalyst – Maria Tofowomo

Many of the business that are clients of The Flint have been impacted by Covid. Our role over the past few months has been to advise them on how to shift their marketing and operations in order to continue to be viable during and post Covid. If Flint had not been nimble and accommodating in our scopes of work, and relationships with our clients, it’s likely that they would have ceased to exist (and thus The Flint would be significantly impacted as well). As such, the student we retain through the Catalyst program will be focused on assisting with the strategic re-focusing of a number of our clients.

Ultra-low-power sensor interfaces for next generation IoE

This research project aims to improve the quality of life and facilitate the early detection of some health conditions by enabling wearabale devices that have a very small form factor, are highly reliable and provide continuous health tracking and monitoring. The ultra-low-energy consumption of the electronics designed in this project extends the battery longevity of such wearables which in turn translates into less frequent charging and/or battery replacement, and makes the use of the wearables much more convenient; specially under circumstances where access to a new battery or charger is restricted or not possible. The partner organization will benefit from the experience in the field of ultra-low-power analog, mixed-signal and sensor interfaces along with highly talented pool of graduate students involved in this research to realize the project milestones in a timely manner and with utmost quality and efficacy

Eco2Urb – PART 2

Avec à sa tête trois chercheurs de renommée internationale, l’équipe de consultants scientifiques d’Eco2urb possède une expertise marquée dans la gestion durable des écosystèmes, dans la conservation de la biodiversité, et dans la prise en compte des services rendus par les infrastructures naturelles. Depuis sa fondation en 2017, Eco2urb n’a cessé de croitre et s’implique maintenant dans une gamme élargie de projets de caractérisation écologique et de priorisation spatiale auprès des municipalités, des ONG, des gouvernements et des propriétaires privés.
En raison de la demande croissante pour son offre, l’entreprise cherche aujourd’hui à développer un plan de marketing et de communications pour étendre sa notoriété, consolider son image de marque et présenter ses services et ses outils à une clientèle large ou ciblée. L’entreprise a tout récemment embauché une directrice des communications pour contribuer à l’atteinte de la vision.
Pour l’année 2020-2021, l’entreprise entreprend une refonte de son plan d’affaires. Cette refonte sera appuyée par plusieurs études de marché, ainsi qu’un plan de communication-marketing exhaustif qu’il faudra non seulement élaborer mais aussi mettre en œuvre. Pour se démarquer, l’entreprise prendra sa destinée entre ses mains et fera preuve de créativité et d’innovation à l’interne.

Study on Natural Gas Vehicle Options Status and Needs

Natural gas use in transportation sector has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy truck, marine, light duty vehicles, and rail transport with a 20-30% reduction. It is proposed that a comprehensive scoping of research priorities related to natural gas vehicles and refueling infrastructure be undertaken. The outcome of this work would be a report identifying areas of research need, areas of research opportunity, and current North American research activities. The “need” area refers specifically to research activities focused on reducing the costs of vehicle components and stations, and addressing performance or reliability issues. Environmental performance of natural gas vehicles will also be studied. The research conducted by various people and groups and the needs for the market will be evaluated based on the interviews with expert people, literature search, market assessment, etc.

Sensory Friendly Solutions – Dhilip Kasthuri Rengan

Due to the effects of COVID-19 on tourism and travel, even within local communities, Sensory Friendly Solutions has had to abandon our business model, and export revenue streams that focused on matching consumers with businesses in our global Sensory Friendly Finder.
We have an immediate need to pivot our business model and revenue streams for our business to remain viable. We have identified several possible verticals in a post-COVID-19 export market and seek an MBA student to build a business strategy plan around the one we have identified as most likely for success: dentists in the USA.
We note that we have previously met with a UNBSJ MBA student, Dr. Dhilip Kasthuri Rengan, and due to his background in dentistry, he is a natural fit for this project.
